5 plug BNC Monitor

I have an old monitor. I can not figure out how to plug it in.

Monitor connections
r g b h/v v

Cable colors:
red, green, blue, black, white.

You would think that the cables colors and letters match up, however
they do not. Any ideas?

Other names for cable:
D-Sub
rgb hv
SUB D-plug 15 Pin HD
5 plug monitor cable
5 bnc to rbg

This is my monitor:

I have tried lots of googles. However I am majorly stumped.
 
Attach the BNC cable in order, i.e. red wire to R, green to G etc.
As for the last two, just stick to the order of the cable. Black to
H/V and white to V.

On my monitor, V is black, H is grey. The black plastic body of
the BNC connector has a letter stamped in the plastic, and
that is how I can check this now. (The CRT is retired and
sitting in my basement - not the same model as you've got.)

I tried searching on that model number, and found this
disturbing web page. I think it is suggesting you will not
be able to see your BIOS screen when using that monitor.
While the monitor is multisync, it may not do the lower
resolutions that other monitors can handle with no problem.
This page could be worded a bit clearer.

If that is the case, I might start your computer with your
regular monitor. Establish 1280x1024 resolution at 75Hz
refresh rate. Disconnect regular monitor from the video card
VGA connector while the computer is running, then connect
the nc2085aa with its already connected cable. Turn on
the nc2085aa power. See if the 1280x1024 resolution works OK
or not. Turn off the nc2085aa, unplug the nc2085aa cable,
plug in your regular monitor.

(The reason for that sequence, is if the monitor is so
crappy as to not support 640x480, it may also not handle
transients very well. In which case, I'd turn the monitor
off before removing the cable, just in case. The monitors
I've used here, respond very well to "hot-plugging", and
I've moved the cable hundreds of times while the computer(s)
and monitor are running.)

Or keep searching on the web, for more info on nc2085aa .

Right ON! That worked great. Thanks!
